The Wall Street Journal Reveals Another Shortcoming of the Israeli Military: Urgent Shortage of Air Defense Missile Stockpiles

On June 21, Jin10 reported that despite the denial from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), American media (The Wall Street Journal) reported again that Israel's missile interceptor inventory for its air defense system is in short supply. The report stated that the United States is working to strengthen Israel's defensive capabilities: replenishing ammunition for the "THAAD" air defense system deployed in Israel last year, while sending a fourth destroyer equipped with a ballistic missile interception system to the region. The report also noted that although the Israel Defense Forces are continuously weakening Iran's missile launch capabilities by destroying its missile reserves and launch devices, if the conflict continues for a few more weeks, Israel's interceptors may be depleted.
